Whipsnade Zoo 
Description
Whipsnade is the sister zoo to London zoo, and is also the largest zoo by size in the country. These days most of the large animals, such as Rhino, Hippo and Elephant are housed at Whipsnade rather than in the more cramped conditions in London. The spaces are very large, so there is quite a bit of walking involved to get round to see everything, and it's possible for animals to hide deep in their enclosures so that they aren't visible. The site is so large that you can pay extra and drive your own car into the zoo and around the site to take in the animals. There are plenty of facilities and kiosks dotted round the site

Getting There
The nearest station to Whipsnade is Luton (trains from London St Pancras). From Luton you need to take a bus into Dunstable (very frequent, even on Sundays, around 15 minutes) and change there for a number 40/40A bus to Whipsnade. During the week there is a roughly hourly service, though the times and routing changed. On a Saturday there are just four buses with the last bus leaving the zoo just before 2pm. There are no services on a Sunday. From Dunstable its around a 4 mile walk up onto Dunstable Down over to the zoo - its flat from Dunstable to the foot of the down, then a short but very steep ascent, then flat along the top of the ridge that the zoo sits on. On a warm dry day its a pleasant walk from the zoo as it's almost all downhill, but towards the zoo it would be a strenuous walk.Latitude: 51.849848; Longitude: -0.544171
